The Freedom and Flexibility of On-Site Ownership

Camping is a wonderful way to get away from everyday life, to enjoy nature, friends and family, and to get out and see the world. And, as with everything in life, there are many ways to do it: tent camping, RV camping, car camping, renting a cabin, and even sleeping under the stars are all options. One growing option is park models. Park models are recreational vehicles that are intended to stay in one location for an extended period of time. They are not the kind of recreational vehicle that can be moved around regularly. The general intention is to purchase a park model, park it in your favorite campground or desired destination, hook it up to utilities and enjoy the comfort and convenience of a wonderful spot that will always be ready for you. Park models for sale and park models for rent, are available in many campgrounds now. There are also many park model specific campgrounds. Continue reading below

(article continued from above) Park models range from simple RVs to rustic cabins and are customizable. Lofts, bay windows, dormers, airy porches, full kitchens, and more can make your park model feel like home away from home! With so many park models for sale, this is a great option for people who love to spend time camping but don’t want to worry about campsites, RVs, tents, or any of the other hassles of camping. With your very own park model, all you need to do is show up! For those that enjoy visiting new places every time they camp, there are many park models for rent throughout the country. Renting a park model allows you the freedom to enjoy the luxury and comfort of beautiful park models without the need to purchase your own, or the tether to one camp site. Warm climates, like Florida, make for excellent winter retreats to warmer weather, and areas like this have a wide variety of park models for rent, ranging from open and airy beach side models to rustic cabins set amongst the trees. With so many options in locations, styles and amenities, it is an ever growing camping option!

Tips & Hints for Buying a Park Model or Investing in On-site Ownership

  1. Before buying a park model, be sure to look it over. Make sure it has everything you want and need from your home away from home, and that everything is in good working order.
  2. Have you been taking your RV to the same location for years? Maybe it’s time to purchase a park model that offers more amenities than your RV and will always be waiting for you at your favorite spot.
  3. Have you been wanting a vacation home, but can’t afford it? Park models are much more affordable than condos or beach houses, and the best part is, when you are ready for a new location or change of scenery, a park model can be moved!
  4. Where you park your park model may dictate what you can, or cannot, have. Be sure to check out local laws and regulations before committing to a park model.
  5. A park model must have less than 400 square feet of area to be considered a recreational vehicle. This limitation on size means that you may need to play around with floor plans, width, length, lofts and more to get exactly what you want and need out of the space you’re allowed.
